The Democrats took back the House and cut your Medicare.” If you know someone on Medicare, expose the Republicans' dirty trick. #USDemocracy #MomSky #RepublicanMedicareCuts

I've liked her in everything I've see her in. Fantastic actress.
Steven Santos@stevensantos.bsky.social · yesterdayThose who spent time complaining about other actors Christopher Nolan hired may also want to consider he's just casting actors he's seen and liked and who haven't been getting cast in major roles as much as they should be. The guy gave Tom Conti two important roles in his films. See also:
If Maine voters can't see through the ruse, at some point one has to question exactly what it is that they want. She hasn't been a senator there for nearly three decades by accident.
Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 21h agoSusan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Donald Trump is psychotic. This is not an insult. He has literally lost his connection to the objective world. He has collapsed into himself, and he has taken his regime, and his nation, with him. “Psychosis is a state of absolute narcissism” —Erich Fromm www.mind-war.com/p/the-presid...

Donald Trump has irretrievably lost his connection to the objective world.

This Film often has the piss taken out of it for being a rather sedentary piece about 2 people just talking a lot — BUT — it has one of the most brilliantly prescient monologues in the history of Movies imho. MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981) Have a listen.

It is expected to cost roughly $8,500. It made its public debut June 7, when President Claudia Sheinbaum drove a prototype onto a stage near Mexico City, and manufacturing targeted for early 2027 at a proposed assembly site in Puebla. Charging from a standard household outlet is part of the plan

We’ve been saying this for a while now many of the people being targeted are just fishermen. Evidence now supports that the United States has killed individuals who were not involved in drug trafficking during its “counternarcotics interdiction operations” in the Caribbean and Pacific.

So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
The In-N-Out Burger shooter comes from a family immersed in Trump propaganda. The shooter loved General Flynn, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. He was pro-natalist and wanted to join ICE, but didn't have a college degree.

They're probably hoping you won't hear about this. But tomorrow in TX, Tarrant County officials meet to vote on a GOP plan to cut almost HALF of Election Day voting locations, plus 8 early voting locations, some of them on campuses. Not hard to guess why. fortworthreport.org/2026/07/30/t...

🧵 What is REALLY happening at the Ceuta border in Spain? It is not just a migration crisis—it is a textbook example of hybrid warfare, where human movement is weaponized for geopolitical leverage to destabilise Europe. Here is a breakdown of the players 👇
Why is Ceuta a migration flashpoint and how were so many people able to cross from Morocco?
An estimated 50,000 people attempted the journey to the Spanish territory in chaotic and dangerous scenes that resulted in dozens of deaths

America’s concentration camps must be shut down now They are sites of horror: torture, rampant spread of infectious diseases, inadequate sanitation, hygiene, & medical care, & a mounting death toll Just as “better training of guards” wasn’t the answer to Auschwitz, you can’t “reform” these camps

Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (d #OTD in 2025) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
"...in his nightmares, he sees the agents of the American government lunging towards him, over and over. This time, they kill him." Incredible, stomach churning piece from @minnesotareformer.com of the @statesnewsroom.com about an absolutely vile assault by ICE during the Minnesota occupation.
Minnesota Reformer@minnesotareformer.com · 2d agoOn Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

To the people possibly buying into JD Vance’s deliberate attempt to rebrand himself as a level headed, likable dude: don’t fall for it! He’s Thiel’s bitch, an ardent supporter of techno-authoritarianism and a Curtis Yarvin Dark Enlightenment freak. Dangerous af! newrepublic.com/article/1839...
